Long Summary
The episode begins with Shinobu telling Nami and Robin about Boss Hyogoro while being bathed by an octopus in a bathouse.
In another scene, Luffy and Hyogoro were brought to the Prison Mines where Queen hosts the Sumo Inferno. Luffy and Hyogoro were made as part of tag teams by Queen. If both were defeated, they would both be executed. If they joined Queen, only Luffy would be spared. Luffy then rudely asks Queen what would happen if they win the fight. Queen was extremely enraged at first, but later him and the crowd turn to laughters at such an absurd question and orders the crowd to engage him. Luffy easily defeats the brawlers, taunting others if they would be brave enough to engage him.
Meanwhile at the Flower Capital bathhouse, Drake and Hawkins arrive to search for those associated with the Kozuki Family. Nami and Robin hid behind Shinobu. Hawkins went deep into the bathhouse and found Shinobu standing. Suspicious, he demands her to move away but Nami innocently walked out from behind Shinobu and claims that she is just a normal customer. Hawkins wasn't fooled by the ruse and identifies her of being part of the Straw Hats. Nami's cloth later falls off her body and exposes her naked body. Most of the men in the bathhouse were affected by her 'Happiness Punch' while the women were impressed with her both. When Sanji saw her naked, he suffers a heavy nosebleed that causes him to cancel his invisibility his raid suit provided and jetted backwards, crashing into a wall. The people in the bathhouse gather around the immobilized Sanji, claiming that they saw him yesterday. Hawkins calls Drake and tells him that 'Soba Mask' was present. Drake enters the bathhouse, only to see a naked Nami and collapses. Upon close inspection, Drake was shocked to see a Germa 66 raid suit and doubts what he is seeing as true. Later, the people in the bathhouse quickly escaped the bathhouse. Nami, Robin, and Shinobu plans to do so but Drake stops them from doing so. Suddenly, Sanji recovers from his immobility and attacks the two Worst Generation, rescuing the three women by flying through the roof. Drake and Hawkins runs out and vow to catch Sanji later.
While flying in the air, Nami asks why he was in the bathhouse. Sanji says it's a long story and he would explain later. Robin expresses concern for Sanji and asks if he was losing too much blood. Sanji replies that he could die happily from bloodlost. Sanji tells the three women that he is planning to fly to Ebisu Town where most of the Straw Hats were at.
Meanwhile, Luffy was still beating waves of brawlers, saying that they enemies weren't tough enough.
In Ringo, Zoro meets up with Onimaru, trying to claim Shusui back. Onimaru bluntly tells Zoro that it wasn't his sword, saying that it was a treasure, stolen from the graves of the legendary samurai Ryuma. Zoro slyly exclaims that he already knows the fact. Onimaru tells Zoro to go away but Zoro attacks Onimaru, starting a battle.
